images in menu

[pavia@gti.net]

If you are using images (and rollovers) in the menu instead of text, how does one do it so that a menu item rolls over AND drops down a sub menu? Aaaagh...this is driving me crazy. The way I have it, the normal code would be:

,"<img src=buttonlearn.jpg border=0>","show-menu=learn swapimage=buttonlearn_over.jpg",,,0

but the result of this is that it renders the menu item useless--it neither rolls over nor does it drop the sub menu items...

Any help would be appreciated. Alternatively, if this can't be accomplished, could someone please tell me so I can get on with my life?

I also would like to know how to do this. Any ideas?

See my posting (roll over images not working) for additional information... I see that you have had no replies... have you corrected your problem yet?

Here is my original string that did not work..

,"<img src=diamond.gif border=0>&nbsp;&nbsp;LINKS","show-menu=link1 swapimage=diamond_over.gif",,,1

Here is the new string that does work...

,"<img src=diamond.gif border=0>&nbsp;&nbsp;LINKS","<show-menu=link1> swapimage=diamond_over.gif",,,1 // I placed < > around the <show-menu=link1>

Hope this helps!

Well the rollover image worked but now the submenu doesn't appear...

Darn!

Ok here is the answer to your questions taken straight from the Milonic website itself.

To create an image rollover on a menu item that is a clickable link to some URL:

,"<img border=0 src=images/img.gif>&nbsp;milonic.co.uk",
"http://www.milonic.co.uk/ swapimage=/images/img_over.gif;",,,1

In the above example you include the 'swapimage' tag in with the URL and end it with a semicolon.

To create an image rollover on a menu item that is to produce a submenu:

,"<img border=0 src=images/img.gif>&nbsp;Web Tools",
"show-menu=qwebtools","# swapimage=/images/img_over.gif;",,0

In this example, you put the 'show-menu' tag as usual, but in the next comma-ed area (usually left blank) you put in quotes a pound symbol then space, then your 'swap image' tag. Dont forget this does not go with the URL, it goes in what is commented in the code as being the 'Alternate URL' section of the string.

Hope this helps all of you that needed it.
